Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Great Movies to watch on Axioms

One of my favourite Demo DVD's now is the "House of Flying Dagger". Nice movie, spectacular sound track (the chinese dolby 5.1). The entire soundtrack is very dynamic and will give your system a good workout.

My favourite scene is the "Dance of the Echo's" (Could be the Echo Dance). It is in the begining of the movie at around 3-4 chapter. That scene has loads of surround effects and is an excellent demo for what the QS8 can do.

Forgot about Kill Bill v.1. Not my favorite Tarantino film by any means, but the soundtrack was unbelievable. Superdigglyincredulously fantastic.

Ditto on Master and Commander. I just got my QS8s and it was the first movie we watched. Frigging unbelievable -- the QS8s. What a difference after years of using old Infinity bookshelves as surrounds. I was skeptical the change would be so complete, so "plenary," to use the political word of the week. (As pundits are reminding us now with regard to W.'s war powers, plenary means "complete," "unto itself," or something along those lines.) And the movie will put any surround system to the test. It's not just surround-for-surround sake but a real part of the story, creating the claustrophobia of the ship and the enveloping sense of the battles at sea. Awesome speakers and movie.

Batman Begins and Hero(DTS-Chinese). I haven't watched Master and Commander since getting the QS-8's, but it sounded good even with my old 2-way surrounds!
